Transportation Options
The Douglas County School District cannot provide bussing for this trip. Due to the high cost of chartering a bus (over $6000) for this trip and hotel costs we are going to drive to Grand Junction. Here are the options for athletes.

• Option 1: Ride with coaches. We will be leaving from the MVHS parking lot the morning of the race at 9:30 a.m. on October 19th. We will rent minivans if necessary. The coaches will drive back to MVHS at the conclusion of the meet. 
• Option 2: Ride with your families. If your family is going to the meet you can ride to Grand Junction with them. It is also okay for athlets to ride with another family. Please be at the golf course no later than 2:15 p.m. 
• Option 3: Go the day before. Some athletes/families has expressed interest in going to Grand Junction the night before. This is okay with the coaches as long as you are at practice Wednesday morning. The decision to go the day before is being left up to individual families to decide.

​Athletes will need to tell the coaches their travel plans at practice on Monday, October 16th.

2023 Booster Club Donations 
To ensure that we have adequate funding for the 2023 fall XC season the coaching staff is asking that each family on the team make a donation of $100 to our XC Booster club. Our estimated cost to run the program this fall is approximately $8000, which covers such necessities as meet entry fees ($300-$500 per meet) and our team licensed massage therapist (Coach Boele) to be at practice.

If families cannot donate $100, then we ask you to donate what you can. And of course if any would like to donate above $100 it is greatly appreciated.
